Logline/Synopsis
Logline
A logline is often referred to as the TV Guide listing
of your screenplay. In essence, it is a one sentence, or so,
description of the basic idea of your script. A good logline
contains a sense of who the main character is, what world the
screenplay inhabits, and the inherent conflict in the story.
Synopsis
A synopsis is a brief description of all the events in
your screenplay...the broad strokes.
When pitching by phone, e-mail, in a round-robin pitchfest (or in an
elevator), you will be asked for your logline and synopsis. A
sprightly and concise logline and synopsis are essential to hooking
your prospective buyer.
